Precis
Steadily increasing in difficulty and distance these hotspot races are a key ingredient in preparing the pigeons for the final. Birds must become fit and strong while they build endurance and learn to find their route home from longer and longer distances, dealing with predators whilst navigating the heart of Africa.
Rules
The first activated pigeon through the trap wins!
Race time will close at 12:00 noon on the second day or such other time that VFWCPR may announce.
